one is the secretary of defense actually has to carry out what the president's mandates are. but the secretary has a responsibility to give his best judgment to the president, because the president is focused on so many different things. and i just don't believe that chuck hagel is the person to give that sound judgment to the president, because he continues to change positions, from week to week, day to day, and year to year. >> well, i'm curious, though, because this issue of military strikes, you know, it seemed that some, from the republican side, have been critical of that. saying, that shows you're not tough. but bush's defense secretary, robert gates, gave a speech at the beginning of this year, saying a state against the united states against iran would make a nuclear armed iran inevitable. so being hesitant to nuclear strikes does not appear to be a weak point of view. >> the president will be the one, erin, of course, that makes that ultimate decision. i think chuck hagel's not the person that should be advising him, when chuck hagel was one that didn't even support
